  •  EBITA adj. increased to MSEK 510 (331), margin 12.8% (16.1), negatively impacted by the non-cash PPA adjustment of MSEK 17 from Q3*
  •  EBITA increased to MSEK 465 (308), margin 11.6% (15.0), negatively impacted by the PPA adjustment*
  •  EBIT increased to MSEK 417 (307), margin 10.4% (15.0), negatively impacted by the PPA adjustment*
  •  Net profit amounted to MSEK 292 (194)
  •  Earnings per share amounted to SEK 5.58 (4.10)
  •  Operating cash flow improved to MSEK 335 (224)

*The adjustment relates to the fair value on acquired inventory in Avanti. Normally this fair value effect impacts the income statement (as a cost) during the period when the inventory is sold. However, as the inventory acquired already has been sold the full effect of MSEK 17 has been recorded as a cost in the third quarter.

Management assessment: If the acquired companies would have been fully consolidated in the Group by 1 January 2016, the order intake growth during January-December 2017 would have been 5% and the revenue growth 5% compared to the same period 2016.
